I had thought I was getting updates when doing it, but only the KUBUNTU updates were being processed.I have a 64bit system and noticed that all athe updates are only i386. How can I get the 64bit updates.

pigdog, the apt-get commands above are the command line equivalent of using the gui update tool in kde. much quicker and easier for us cli types gadget, there is no 64 bit version ready for testing yet. you installed the 32 bit version and should continue getting 32 bit updates.

For "us cli types" (who started uploading instructions using punch tape on 110/300 baud terminals) and tl1 types (old telco guys) gui's are nice and pretty but executing one command at the prompt beats migrating through a bunch of layers any day.
